Favourite photography sites





Here's a few of my favourite photography sites...

Digital Photography School -- some fantastic photo projects to try as well as great little tutorials.

The Pioneer Woman -- her photography section has some great camera tutorials in layman's terms

Ken Rockwell -- has a guide on pretty much every camera out there as well as some great Photoshop tips.

... and of course I'm always on the lookout for more!

Festivous for the rest of us



We had a lovely little Christmas Eve dinner with just the six of us (well, seven counting Jersey) out at Cam's parents' place. While mama Maysmith cooked up a delicious meal, Cam created one of his masterful desserts. It started out like this:






Then went to this...


And finally we have our masterpiece!

Christmas morning we were treated to a beautiful sunrise over the ocean, as seen from the house.
And everyone got what they wanted for Christmas...
Including Jersey... who got a full morning's nap.


We headed off to 20-person Christmas dinner at Aunt Margaret's house -- where there were little gifts at everyone's seat and Christmas crackers to boot.



Even Mulligan, the 18-year-old Christmas kitty, enjoyed the company.
... though she had her eye on the bird.
Some of us lasted longer than others though...




Happy Christmas and New Year!!!
